Com apple webkit networking xpc что это

Question: Q: Can I remove «com.apple.webkit.networking.xpc»?

My MacBook Air purchased 06/2017 has been shutting down unexpectantly and I also get the beachball. Was researching and noted in my firewall I have this WebKit «allowed.» Is this okay? I have no idea what it is and there are many various answers. I am thinking it is part of the computer problem. Can I remove it/is it necessary? I ran EtreCheck today. Thank you for any answers!

Webkit related stuff is part of Safari (and some other browsers as well). Don’t remove it. It would appear you probably have a web page that is using lots of CPU due to a movie running or some other CPU intensive task or some HTML code that is not correct. Would suggest you look closely at what you have in browser (how many windows and tabs have you got open for example)? Perhaps quit and restart browser or start all over with a clean browser state (just one tab in one window).

You could use Activity Monitor to see which one of your Web pages is using lots of CPU/Memory resources and try and kill that individual process. That will terminate one of the tabs in your browser in case you can’t figure out which one is causing the problem. Do you know how to use Activity Monitor?

Not sure what you mean by «pinned» — do you mean non-responsive?

Virus software on a Mac is a rather difficult thing to answer. Some people treat it with religious zeal and say never-ever-ever do it. Some think it might help. In any event it often slows down or causes problems on the Mac system. It is possible for Mac’s to get virus problems, but very unlikely.

I would suggest looking around here on these discussions and learning more.

As far as the firewall being on, are you referring to the Systems Preferences «Security & Privacy» Firewall option? Does your router from your ISP provide any firewall features (most do)? I don’t have any experience with Spectrum service or their routers, so perhaps someone here who does can comment?

In general a firewall is a good idea, but I’m not a firewall expert, so can’t really give advice about something I don’t use. In general firewalls protect you from unwanted inbound connections. For me, network outbound connections that are uncontrolled are more important, so I use a product called LittleSnitch, but it too has it’s friends and enemies on these discussions. It does create a lot of notifications to you while you’re first getting it running, but it allows you to create rules on what is allowed and what is not, and that requires some time to research what is and isn’t a good idea. After you use it a while (hours to days to weeks typically), the number of unwanted notices is minimal.

Question: Q: com.apple.WebKit.Networking.xpc want to sign using key «Apple ID Authentication (date, time) in your keychain

I get this communicate all the time:

com.apple.WebKit.Networking.xpc want to sign using key «Apple ID Authentication (date, time) in your keychain

Please help, it is incredibly annoying, it appears all the time if I allow or deny.

This problem is not related to Maverics. I got this problem since late 2011 and I was running Lion (10.7) at the time, with Safari 5.1. I had the problem too with Mountain Lion (10.8) and Safari 6. And now with Maverics.

May be I can give more technical details on what is happening. When Safari goes on a secure web site, the web site gives a certificate to be signed, and Safari has to sign that certificate using one from the keychain. There are plenty of them already in the keychain (added during the installation of the OS). In fact, all the ones we need should be there, and specifically the one needed for that web site. The web site certificate could be displayed by clicking on the lock on the left of the URL field on the top of the Safari window. For example, the one used in this web site here was delivered by Cybertrust Public SureServer. For some people, it seems that there is a confusion in the keychain between the right certificate and a wrong one, and then Safari tries to sign using the wrong certificate. I my case, after suppressing that unwelcomed certificate, the signing process starts to work as it should. at least for some time. Be careful not to suppress any system or root certificates, which will cause an access problem to their related web sites. The one shown on the top of this discussion is located in «my certificates» in the login or session keychain.

What I don’t know so far is how that annoying certificate gets in the keychain and how can we prevent it to get there. I thought I came with some secured e-mails I received, but I did not succeed to match it. I am still looking for a solution.

I hope it helped.

I think i figured this out; well, at least for me. I was having this problem every time I opened a new tab in Safari, which was incredibly annoying! It was a portal website that I use for work, as you describe, that was causing the issue, and the solution for me was to remove it from my Top Sites section. Once removed, Safari no longer prompted me for this certificate each time a new tab was opened. I hope this helps someone out there!

I am getting this exact error when visiting specific pages using Safari 7.0. I would like to know what causes this error as well.

Will someone from Apple please reply?

Nov 13, 2013 10:30 AM

I have this problem too, but with only one web site (a school portal). The person in charge says that Safari started to show this behavior since they change their certificate during last spring period. He suggested me to switch my browser to Chrome, which doesn’t show this behavior. I rejected the suggestion, because I don’t like the idea of having many web browsers.

To temporiraly get rid of the problem, I just delete the suspect certificate from my keychain. It is the one shown in the the message that follows the one above, where we are prompted to select a certificate. In Keychain, the certificate to delete is found under the «My certificates» category of the «session» or «login» keychain. This is not a permanent fix, because it comes back after a few weeks, but it allows to overide the problem for the short term.

If someone has some url’s that have the problem, without any security or privacy issues, I would like to try them.

Question: Q: What is «com.apple.WebKit.Networking.xpc» doing in my Firewall options — allow incoming connections?

I periodically check things around my system. Today I discovered an entry in my Firewall Options that I don’t recognize and do not remember ever seeing before —

com.apple.WebKit.Networking.xpc Allow incoming connections

I have found some discussions (here in Apple Communities) that say it’s part of Safari .

But when I google «com.apple.WebKit.Networking.xpc» I see posts that say it’s a serious bit of malware that hijacks browsers.

Can anyone shed any light on what this really is?

So . is it a legitimate/necessary part of Safari . or is it malware?

(BTW, I have malwarebytes and when I scan it says my system is clean. I’ll also run Etrecheck and see what it says.)

Post a report from this please.

EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.

There is also Malwarebytes…

That being said I have it on every OS version since at least 10.8.

It is not malware.

I’d say it’s OK, what does a get Info on it report?

Not only used for Safari, but also Mail, Messages, AppStore, iCloud. anything on a Mac that uses Internet.

Mar 20, 2019 8:52 PM

The file is located in /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/XPCServices

Here is what GetInfo reported:

The permissions are:

system — Read & Write

wheel — Read Only

everyone — Read Only

ps. It appears to be an Apple product (unless it’s possible to spoof information that GetInfo would report on a file).

Regarding the site hotvirusmalwareremoval.com — the name itself made me suspicious, so I googled it and NEARLY ALL the hits were pages on the site itself. I could not find ANY third-party reviews of the site, its products or services; and there is nothing in any Wiki about it. This makes me very suspicious of the site.

In addition, if com.apple.WebKit.Networking.xpc is in fact an Apple/macOS component why is this site making extraordinary claims that it’s «a dangerous computer infection which hijacks your internet browsers» and then offers steps to remove it?

I understand you probably can’t answer that question, but the entire situation surrounding that site makes me very suspicious that it could be a scam and source of malware. There have been plenty of other rogue sites that claim to clean up your Mac, remove viruses, etc. that leave you off much worse than when you started . Mac Cleaner/macPaw, anyone, for example?
